Hikvision DS-TMG001-3 – a 4 metre aluminium automatic road barrier boom (barrier arm) designed for vehicle entry and exit control in LPR (License Plate Recognition) systems. The straight octagonal-profile construction, measuring 4000 × 44 × 110 mm, provides mechanical rigidity while maintaining a relatively low weight. The boom weight is 4.6 ± 0.2 kg. It is used together with a compatible electromechanical road barrier mechanism that raises and lowers the boom according to control commands. It is a practical solution for residential complexes, car parks, commercial buildings, industrial sites and other controlled areas where automated vehicle access control is required.

Key point:
The reliability of an automatic road barrier depends not only on the drive but also on selecting the correct boom. It must match the passage width, mechanism mounting structure and permissible mechanical load. Hikvision DS-TMG001-3 is a 4 m octagonal aluminium boom designed for automated vehicle access control systems. Its 44 × 110 mm profile provides structural rigidity, while the relatively low weight allows it to be used with compatible electromechanical drives. In an LPR system, the boom provides the physical passage restriction, while licence plate recognition and generation of the opening command are performed by separate electronic equipment.

⚡ Spark: Phase, what does it mean that this 4 metre boom is intended for LPR systems? Does it recognise the vehicle licence plate itself?

⚙ Phase: No, Spark. LPR means licence plate recognition, but the boom itself is a mechanical component. A camera reads the licence plate, the control system checks whether entry is authorised, and the automatic barrier mechanism raises the boom. DS-TMG001-3 performs the physical barrier function. Its octagonal aluminium profile is rigid, while the 4.6 kg weight is important for correct operation of the mechanism and balancing system.

Why is this road barrier boom useful?
Hikvision DS-TMG001-3 makes it possible to assemble or upgrade an automatic vehicle control system with a 4 m physical barrier. The aluminium octagonal-profile component combines structural rigidity with relatively low weight. It can be used in automated entrances equipped with LPR licence plate recognition, remote control or another vehicle access control system. The boom forms the mechanical part of the system, while automatic movement is provided by a separate electromechanical drive.

• Vehicle access restriction – the boom forms a physical passage boundary in an automatic barrier system.
• 4 m length – suitable for closing medium-width vehicle entrances.
• Octagonal profile – the profiled construction provides rigidity and helps maintain the boom geometry.
• Aluminium construction – relatively low weight with mechanical rigidity.
• 44 × 110 mm cross-section – defined dimensions for correct mechanical mounting.
• 4.6 ± 0.2 kg weight – important for correct drive loading and balancing-system adjustment.
• Use in LPR systems – can be integrated into a vehicle access solution controlled by licence plate recognition.
• Automatic opening and closing – provided by a compatible electromechanical drive.
• Mounting on the barrier mechanism – suitable for assembling a new barrier or replacing a similar mechanical component.
• Simple construction – the boom does not have its own electronic control system.
• Suitable for intensive vehicle control – can be used in frequently operating systems with a correctly selected drive.

• Entrances to apartment-building car parks.
• Gated residential complexes and private neighbourhoods.
• Licence plate recognition (LPR) systems.
• Car parks of offices and administrative buildings.
• Vehicle control points at business centres and retail properties.
• Parking areas of hotels and other commercial properties.
• Entrance systems of paid car parks.
• Vehicle control at industrial and production sites.
• Light-vehicle entrances at warehousing and logistics centres.
• Barriers in restricted-access and service vehicle areas.
• Repair and upgrade of existing Hikvision automatic road barriers when a compatible construction is used.

An automatic vehicle access control system with licence plate recognition is planned for the car park of an apartment complex. The passage geometry allows the use of a 4 m boom. A Hikvision DS-TMG001-3 octagonal aluminium boom and a compatible electromechanical barrier mechanism are selected. An LPR camera and vehicle-detection safety equipment are connected to the system. As a vehicle approaches, the camera captures its licence plate. If the vehicle is authorised, the control system sends an opening command to the barrier. The electromechanical drive raises the 4 m boom and clears the passage. After the vehicle has passed safely and the set closing conditions are met, the boom is lowered. This provides automated vehicle movement without constant manual gate operation.

• Professional installation. The boom must be installed by a specialist familiar with automatic road barrier mechanisms and balancing systems.
• Power disconnection. Before installing or replacing the boom, the automatic drive must be safely switched off and protected against unexpected operation.
• Compatible mechanism. The 4 m boom must only be installed on a structurally compatible road barrier mechanism and bracket.
• Profile dimensions. Mounting components must be suitable for the 44 × 110 mm octagonal boom profile.
• Passage width. The actual closed passage width depends on the boom mounting position and barrier installation geometry.
• Mechanical fastening. The boom must be securely fixed so that it cannot loosen or change position during movement.
• Balancing system. After installing the boom, the drive mechanism must be properly balanced, taking into account the 4.6 ± 0.2 kg weight.
• Spring safety. Balancing springs can store substantial mechanical energy, so adjustment work must only be performed with the mechanism safely secured.
• Movement path. There must be no people, vehicles or other obstacles in the boom raising and lowering path.
• Vehicle-detection equipment. Properly positioned radar sensors, photocells or other safety sensors must be used in the automatic system.
• LPR control. Opening commands from the licence plate recognition system must be coordinated with safe barrier control.
• Boom visibility. The boom must be clearly visible to vehicle drivers at the entrance.
• Wind loads. The long boom must be used with consideration of the drive capabilities and local environmental conditions.
• Prevention of mechanical damage. The aluminium profile and its mounting area must not be deformed or damaged during installation.
• Transport. The 4000 mm boom must be transported securely fixed and protected against bending and impacts.
• Testing after installation. After installation, boom raising, lowering, balancing, end positions and safety-system operation must be checked.
• Periodic maintenance. The boom condition, mechanical deformation, mounting components and drive balancing must be checked regularly.

⚡ Phase tip:
When replacing a road barrier boom, it is important to select not only the correct length but also the exact profile. For example, two 4 m booms from different Hikvision series may have different cross-sections and weights, so their mounting components may not be mutually compatible. DS-TMG001-3 has a 44 × 110 mm octagonal profile and weighs 4.6 ± 0.2 kg. After replacing the boom, the drive mounting system must be checked and the mechanism rebalanced. LPR equipment determines whether entry is authorised, while safe boom movement must be ensured by a separate automation and obstacle-detection system.
